Wake Up and Dream: The Evolver Convergence
Philadelphia, PA: Sat, June 4 & Sun, June 5
Presented by Evolver Philly, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Boston, NYC, & NJ
Where others may hear alarm bells (peak oil, 2012, global warming), a rising grassroots movement is answering the call — contributing to a new planetary culture based on ecological values, creative collaboration, and conscious evolution. The Evolver Social Movement invites all agents of transformation to connect and collaborate with the pioneering voices of this growing evolution during our first ever network-wide convergence. For this unprecedented two-day event, evolutionaries from across the country will descend upon the City of Brotherly Love for a weekend of paradigm-bending talks, community engagement, ritualistic fun, visionary art, ecstatic dance, and positive manifestation for those working to create the better world we want to see.
The Convergence will cover topics ranging from sustainability to shamanism, alternate realities to alternative energy, remixing media to re-imagining community, sacred economics to new sexual dynamics, holistic healing techniques to the promise and perils of new technologies. This is your chance to discuss and strategize directly with inspirational thinkers and innovative activists forging a bright and bold tomorrow during this dynamic 2-day interactive journey. It’s our world to change!
Chrysalis: Venture into the Unknown: On Saturday night, our convergence will morph into an enchanted party/journey of otherworldly music, art and alchemy. Explore a labyrinth of exotic performances, enticing activities, glowing artwork, and endless spontaneity hosted by the talented artists of our diverse Evolver “Spore” communities. DJs will be spinning electro, world music, breaks, and house until late, featuring international DJ Lee Mahjahs.
